Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great buy for field and lawn maintenance. Overall, it works great. It works best when the lawn is wet and after thatching, allowing the spikes to penetrate easily, otherwise the spikes will just roll and bounce over the landscape. The handle is too far away from the tractor, which makes it annoying to reach for. The center support is structurally crucial and influenced my choice for this product. Don't buy the wider model, unless you have a large field free of obstructions. It needs weight added to work, and it is designed to hold four 8x8x16 concrete blocks that you will have to source out on your own. Use foam or rags, etc., underneath them and bungee cords to hold them down. Don't unhook it with the bricks loaded. Assembly was not very hard. Great buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Far So Good After skimming the directions and watching the video a couple times i realized the axle piece had to be put together knowing where the lift handle would attach to work as intended. I spent time putting the axle and middle bracket in place for handle to go thru and down to the axle area.Simple enough to put it together. I did have to use 2 shorter bolts to install the handle to the axle assembly. There was not enough space for the 2 long bolts but had the correct size to use the locking nuts supplied. 2 hours start to finish. I am waiting for some rain and will aerate the following day. my propery is 3 acres mostly level with a pool area and lots of beds. Some of the reviews show broken parts with broken welds. I will start with 3 concrete blocks for weight and tow it slowly and wide turns.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don’t buy this!! Avoid at all costs This was a terrible decision to buy this product. Instructions that came with it are not the right and the extra instructions they included where also not right for the product. Went online and could not find the right instructions. Took hours to put together and I will be writing to the company on how brutal it was trying to put this together without any instructions. Pulling ones own teeth would be easier! Do yourself a favour and run away from this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pays for itself on first use Due to unavailability and unreliable contractors, I looked to rent an aerator and when I saw the price of one, I actually purchased it instead. Have already used it twice on 3 acres and can confirm that the aerator has already paid for itself. I no longer count on unreliable trades to do work. Have now got the habit of doing everything myself. Tons better and this is a great machine.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Agri-Fab Aerator Worked well except for the up and down lever - it popped out of the notch coming down the concrete driveway. Make sure the lever is secure in the notch.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Je le recommande J'ai pas inscrit 5 étoiles, juste pour le fait qu'il faut ajouter des rondelles pour que la poignée reste enclenché les roues déployées, et que le fait est qu'il as fallu que je démonte quelques pièces. Sinon l'exercice qu'il doit effectuer est adéquat .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice construction This is just what I needed for my lawn. After 29 years I finally bought one and it works great. As others have said it is a long reach to lever to rise tines Would buy again
